Gettin Jiggy,
I've been wondering the same thing. I've been thinking about trolling the shorelines after dark with shallow runners. I'm talking shallow. Those fish have to be there in the middle of summer! I caught 7 fish in the middle of the afternoon in 6 FOW in front on wild wings 2 weeks ago. It makes me think that they go there more than just this time of year.
I read an article recently about how walleyes go into the shallows at night to feed because the baitfish can't see them as well. I was thinking that this may be the prime reason why they say that walleye are nocturnal. (spelling?)

Walleye feed off of the surface. I have caught eyes using surface rapalas in 6 fow from the Lakeside pier in November at night in the 90s. They surface to eat maylies before they take flight at night after the hatch. I have landed several nice fish off Middle Point Pelee Island, in June and July in 7-9 fow. They will feed up to the surface at night. I do alot of night fishing for salmon so my boat is set up. Without proper lighting, you won't be able to see anything. Hat lights work great and you can duct tape a good flashlight to the net handle.
